Punknews.org | Pseudo Heroes judged guilty by association / Sam speaks out To me, there is no such thing as a right wing punk, the only right wing punks there have ever been are nazi punks, and why would you want to be one of those? Punk is a very socialist left thing to the point of being very involved with the anarchist movement at times (one of those times was NOT when Johnny rotten put it in a song to sound cool). Right wing and punk just dont mix. Right wing people are more likely to be pro capitalism, anti gay marrige, anti equal rights, pro war, pro america etc. This is not a stereotype. They have defined themselves as this way by voting the way they do. Can you imagine a real punk thinking this way, or agreeing with these things? " think having a diversity of opinion in punk rock is essential to punk rock's very soul. Fascism from the left or the right is still fascism -- intolerance sucks." Intolerance doesn't suck. I'm intolerant of racism, sexism, homopbia etc, and I dont think that's a bad thing. I'm intolerant of people who think George Bush is doing a good job, because they aren't thinking straight.I'm intolerant of wars that don't need to be fought. |
